< 传道书 3 >
ʻOku ai hono kuonga ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē, mo e ʻaho ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he lalo langi:
2 生有时,死有时; 栽种有时,拔出所栽种的也有时;
Ko e ʻaho ke fanauʻi ai, mo e ʻaho ke mate; ko e ʻaho ke tō, mo e ʻaho ke taʻaki ʻaia kuo tō;
Ko e ʻaho ke tāmateʻi, mo e ʻaho ke fakamoʻui; ko e ʻaho ke holoki hifo, mo e ʻaho ke langa hake;
Ko e ʻaho ke tangi, mo e ʻaho ke kata; ko e ʻaho ke tangilāulau, mo e ʻaho ke meʻe;
5 抛掷石头有时,堆聚石头有时; 怀抱有时,不怀抱有时;
Ko e ʻaho ke liʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka, mo e ʻaho ke tānaki fakataha ʻae ngaahi maka; ko e ʻaho ke fāʻufua, mo e ʻaho ke vāmamaʻo;
Ko e ʻaho ke maʻu, mo e ʻaho ke mole ai; ko e ʻaho ke kuku maʻu, mo e ʻaho ke liʻaki atu;
Ko e ʻaho ke mahaehae, mo e ʻaho ke tuitui; ko e ʻaho ke fakalongolongo, mo e ʻaho ke lea;
Ko e ʻaho ke ʻofa, mo e ʻaho ke fehiʻa; ko e ʻaho ke tau, mo e ʻaho ke melino.
Ko e hā ʻae lelei ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia ʻoku ngāue ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ne ngāue ai?
Kuo u mamata ki he feinga ʻaia kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ki he fānau ʻae tangata ke ʻahiʻahi ʻaki ʻakinautolu.
11 神造万物,各按其时成为美好,又将永生安置在世人心里。然而 神从始至终的作为,人不能参透。
Kuo ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ke fakaʻofoʻofa ʻi hono kuonga: pea kuo ne ʻai foki ʻae māmani ki honau loto, pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻilo ai ʻe ha tangata ʻae ngāue ʻoku fai ʻe he ʻOtua mei he kamataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki hono ngataʻanga.
ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ha lelei ʻi ai, ka koeʻuhi ke fiefia ʻae tangata, pea ke fai lelei ʻi heʻene moʻui.
13 并且人人吃喝,在他一切劳碌中享福,这也是 神的恩赐。
Pea ko e kai mo e inu ʻae tangata kotoa pē, mo e fiefia ʻi he lelei ʻo ʻene ngāue kotoa pē, ko e foaki ia ʻae ʻOtua.
14 我知道 神一切所做的都必永存;无所增添,无所减少。 神这样行,是要人在他面前存敬畏的心。
ʻOku ou ʻilo, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻe tuʻumaʻu ia ʻo taʻengata: ʻe ʻikai faʻa fakalahi ia, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa toʻo mei ai ha meʻa; pea ʻoku fai eni ʻe he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ke manavahē ʻae kakai ʻi hono ʻao.
15 现今的事早先就有了,将来的事早已也有了,并且 神使已过的事重新再来。
Ko e meʻa naʻe ʻi ai, ʻoku ʻi ai ni; pea ko ia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ke hoko, kuo hili hono fai, pea ʻoku toe ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa kuo mole atu.
16 我又见日光之下,在审判之处有奸恶,在公义之处也有奸恶。
Pea naʻaku mamata foki ʻi he lalo laʻā ki he potu ʻoe fakamaau, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae angahala; mo e potu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fai kovi.
17 我心里说, 神必审判义人和恶人;因为在那里,各样事务,一切工作,都有定时。
Pea u pehē ʻi hoku loto, “ʻE fakamaau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e angahala: he ʻoku ʻi ai pe hono ʻaho ki he tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē mo e ngāue kotoa pē.”
18 我心里说,这乃为世人的缘故,是 神要试验他们,使他们觉得自己不过像兽一样。
Pea naʻaku pehē ʻi hoku loto koeʻuhi ko e anga ʻoe fānau ʻae tangata, ke fakahā ia ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, pea nau ʻilo ai ʻoku nau hangē ko e fanga manu.
19 因为世人遭遇的,兽也遭遇,所遭遇的都是一样:这个怎样死,那个也怎样死,气息都是一样。人不能强于兽,都是虚空。
He ko e meʻa ʻoku hoko ki he fānau ʻae tangata ʻoku hoko ia ki he fanga manu; ʻio, ko e meʻa pe taha ʻoku hoko ki ai fakatouʻosi: ʻo hangē ko e mate ʻae taha, ʻoku pehē pe ʻae mate ʻae taha; ʻio, ko e mānava pe taha ʻoku nau maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai māʻolunga ai ʻae tangata ʻi ha manu: he ʻoku vaʻinga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
ʻOku lau kotoa pē ki he potu pe taha; he ʻoku mei he efu kotoa pē, pea ʻoku toe liliu kotoa pē ki he efu.
Ko hai ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae laumālie ʻoe tangata ʻoku ʻalu ki ʻolunga, mo e moʻui ʻae manu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he kelekele?
22 故此,我见人莫强如在他经营的事上喜乐,因为这是他的分。他身后的事谁能使他回来得见呢?
Ko ia ʻoku hā mai kiate au, ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku lelei hake, ka ko e fiefia ʻae tangata ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻaʻana; he ko hono ʻinasi ia: he ko hai te ne ʻomi ia ke ne mamata ki he meʻa ʻe hoko kimui ʻiate ia?
